Featured with the music, long streams of sound emanating from deep in the throat, is one American, perhaps the only American, capable of producing it, a blind blues singer from San Francisco named Paul Pena.
When Oxley returned to the mix, toward the end of the first set, he seemed more in tune with the pianist's program – as his electronic interjections had a way of finding the interstices in Taylor's complex streams of sound.
The data is, "being converted into streams of sound, light and electric discharges, thus allowing a spectator to experience in more intensive and evident way the influence of the main luminary of the solar system.," :vtol: writes in the project description.
The capacity to identify patterns in streams of sound supports many forms of human behaviour, including moving, speaking and listening.
Using computational models and stimuli that resemble natural acoustic signals, auditory scientists explore how we segregate competing streams of sound.
When subjects are played a sequence of alternating high and low frequency tones, they perceive them as two independent streams of sound.
The first models of our ability to segregate sound sources were based on data from behavioural, neurophysiological and imaging experiments in which subjects listened to various acoustic stimuli similar to those in Figure 1A and were asked to report whether they heard one or two streams of sound.
He's also invented what he calls "jia-English," or fake English, a stream of sounds that usually starts with "hello everybody" and devolves into "English-sounding" nonsense words.
How is it that, when we hear this stream of sounds, what we hear is words?
